Formula 1

OK, last line first. They never compete in the same cars, so not sure where you have drawn that comparison.

Button vs Lowndes...
Was unaware of that ever happening, but i reckon that says more about the bathurst track than anything else.
Put the same cars at Monaco and Lowndes wouldn't be able to finish a lap in the F1 car.

re Senna...
Courtesy of his death, there was a real shift to make the sport safer....and it worked.
Up until last year with the delayed death of Jules Bianchi, nobody had died since Senna in an unparalled improvement in the sport.

It's fair enough, I was sure the F1 Car from Top Gear in one year was used by Celebs in another.

It's wishful thinking about Lowndes and drivers of his ilk not being able to lap Monarco.

I'm not saying remove the safety features, but the stuff that automates normal driver functions.
